Girl of the Blogosphere: Jamie

My father has always been an inspiration to my wardrobe and other departments. Everywhere he went he wore slacks and a dress shirt. I took note from him and today I try to dress my best no matter the occasion.

What is one thing you always carry in your bag?

I always carry an eyelash curler in my bag. It is an instant pick-me-up for my eyes and every fashionista should have one on hand!

What is your current favourite fashion trend?

Everyone loves a babe in flares. I can't get enough of the 70s comeback!

What is the current trend you dislike the most?

As pretty as color blocking is, I’m a little bored with it. I’ve seen many beautiful bloggers try the trend and I must say that it is quite attractive, however I’m a little jaded.

Why did you start your blog?

Honestly, I started my blog as a distraction after the death of a loved one. I started to blog with the idea that fashion is one thing that most girls have in common. I wanted to share my wardrobe and fashion finds with girls from all around the world; I have built friendships through blogger and have connected with so many beautiful girls around the globe so blogging has become dear to me.

Who takes your photos for you/ How do your take your photos?

My baby sister, Va, mostly takes my photos for me. In the past my friend, Kisha, has taken my photos. Ask them both and they will say that I am hella harsh with myself so I take my photos with a lot of whining but with a lot of fun too!

How would you describe your style?

Exactly how I describe myself: a hopeless romantic. Also, in my wardrobe, I usually incorporate something vintage or something thrifted which is 75% of my wardrobe anyway.

What is one thing you are dying to buy this fall?

I am dying to stock up on (or DIYing) capes this fall. I think it is a sleek and refined finish to any fall wardrobe.

Are you a shoes or bags kind of girl?

Both! I recently downsized from a 2-bedroom apartment to a 1-bedroom apartment and I never realized how much I had of the two until I had nowhere to house them. Now I have to think of creative and unconventional ways to stow my shoes and bags. Any ideas?

What is one thing that you regret buying?

I always regret buying at least two or three garments after thrifting. I get so carried away especially when everything is a few dollars each, but I come home and realized that I went overboard and took something home that wasn’t too appealing.

If you could meet one person from the fashion industry/ a fashion icon who would it be?

I’d totally go out for chips and pita with Alexander Wang.

What is your favourite vacation destination?

Oh, my bed, definitely! Technically it’s not a destination, but I can spend hours there wrapped up in a blanket.

What is one totally random fact you want others to know about you?

I know all the lines to the movie, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

Haha I love this interview. I'm a hopeless romantic as well! Her and my style seems a bit different (though I love all of what I'm seeing) as I like the idea of color blocking, and I'm dreading the return of flares! Once I discovered skinny, I can never go back.
